On last Tuesday evening, from seven until
ten o'clock, Miss Bessie Wallace entertained
a number of her little friends In honor of
her twelfth birthday. Tim sped swiftly
while various games were engaged in. One Of
the amusements of the evening was the at
tempt made by each, after being blind folded
and turned around several times, to pin II
tail to ID drawing of a monkey (Which was
minus that necessary appendage). Very
%laughable we're the failures. many missing the
mark by several inches, others by as many
yards. and one young gentleman attaching It
to an opposite wall. OF course he won the
BOBBY prize. Master Len Rylsnd claims this
honor, while Master Charley Fleming car
red off the first having missed the object by
only two inches. At nine o'clock about
twelve couples fled into the dining room,
where refreshments were served, consisting
Of Ices, cake and fruit. Among the Humber
present we noticed Misses Matte Dor
sett, Bessie Cobb, Florence Nea!e, Matte

Georgia Gilkerson, Ozite Cox, Eugene
Davis, Mary Robinson, Daisy Francisco and
Lutte Stokes; Masters Len Ryland, Forest

son, Horace Bolton, Edwin Rankin, Dent
